The Northville luxury market at a glance

“The Downs” — Northville's defining new development
The former Northville Downs harness track (which ran from 1944 until 2024) is being transformed into “The Downs”— a roughly 48-acre, ~$300M mixed-use neighborhood in the heart of town, with hundreds of new homes, commercial space, parks, and daylighted riverfront.

Schools, lifestyle & location
Northville Public Schoolsis a major draw — rated among the very best in Michigan (Niche 2026: A+, around #2 statewide), with Northville High itself ranked near the top of the state. Add a genuinely walkable historic downtown (anchored by the 1925 Marquis Theater), adjacency to Maybury State Park, and golf, and you have a rare blend of small-town character and amenity.
Note: the City of Northville straddles the Wayne/Oakland county line (roughly half in each), while neighboring Northville Township is entirely in Wayne County — worth confirming for a specific address. Data: Zillow (mid-2026), Niche (2026), and public reporting on The Downs; luxury-segment and neighborhood figures are directional.
